Connections

Firebird

Set up a Firebird connection in the workspace for the database actions to use.

Firebird

Connects a Firebird database to the workspace. The Firebird database actions in your robots use this connection.

Firebird offers two connection modes: a local file and a remote server. Pick one in the Connection type field at the top of the form.

Local file

Use this when the database file is on the same machine that will run the robot.

Path to the local file

The full path to the database's .fdb file.

Example:

C:\Systems\DATABASE.FDB

User

The username to authenticate against the database with.

Password

That user's password.


Remote server

Use this when the database is on a server reachable over the network.

Host

The Firebird server's IP address or name.

Example: 192.168.0.1

Port

The port to connect to the Firebird server on. The default is 3050.

Database

The database's name or path on the remote server.

User

The username to authenticate against the database with.

Password

That user's password.


Using it in the Designer

For a robot to use this connection, add the Firebird - Connection action to the flow. In the action's settings, pick the connection saved in the workspace. Later Firebird actions (query, insert, update and the rest) use it automatically.
